Outriders just might be the looter shooter that fans have been asking for, there’s density in the lore of the game which never feels half-baked or made just for story progression. Square Enix and People Can Fly teamed up to deliver a new twist to the genre which seemed to be lacking innovation for quite some time. While no one goes into a looter shooter game for the storyline, having a good one certainly has its benefits and it forms a base to carry the game from point to point....

[Midnight Rant is a new Game Rant feature brewed in the the darkest moments of the evening, and served appropriately during the midnight hour (where rants belong). The Midnight Rant is meant to promote discussion, and should always be taken with a grain of salt. In other words, it’s a rant written at midnight. Share your thoughts in the comments!] An interesting discussion popped up between a few Game Rant Writers and myself earlier today....

Ubisoft is working on a new title called Might and Magic: Chess Royale that…ambitiously tries to combine two of PC gaming’s hottest genres. Might and Magic: Chess Royale combines the auto-battler genre (which we became quite addicted to last year), the battle royale genre (as best represented by games like PUBG and Fortnite), and the Might and Magic series. The basic idea is that you’re going to do what you do with other auto-battler games out there....

I have to admit I’m not exactly a fan of Adventure Time (I’m more of a Rick and Morty enthusiast), but I like the idea of that kind of post-apocalyptic cartoon. When I saw the trailer for Minute of Islands, I instantly thought it looked like Adventure Time. Except that I like the art style of Minute of Islands much more, as it reminds me of the comics by French artist Jean “Moebius” Giraud....

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 “Stimulus Package” is now available on Xbox Live - following a rough start out the gate. Many Modern Warfare fans eagerly watched the progress bar of the highly-anticipated DLC add-on - only to discover that upon completion “Stimulus” was, ironically, dead on arrival. The new maps failed to load in-game. Personally, I’m blaming asphyxiation for the wide-eyed, lifeless look on the face of the DLC - “Stimulus” was clearly suffocated under the weight of its inflated price as it traveled from Activision to Xbox 360s around the world....

Video game auteur Hideo Kojima made an announcement recently, saying that his upcoming game Death Stranding will have not only the standard difficulty settings, but will also have a “very easy mode” for people who want to experience the game as a narrative, even if they haven’t had experience with action games, or even video games in general. This increases the accessibility of the game’s story, and is a feature that should be implemented in more story-heavy games....

Below is the list of what’s been altered/added in the 1.6.1 to 1.6.6. updates, with the latter releasing just this morning....

Earlier this month, Mortal Kombat 11 received another boost in the form of The Terminator joining the playable roster.

New characters are not the only content being added to the game, however, as Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios recently announced a special Halloween-themed event that will be coming to the game next week....

Everyone knew there were going to be some heavy hitters in the Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack 1, but only recently did audiences learn the full story. After countless leaks and rumors, the complete roster of fighter was finally unvieled, and includes a familiar cyborn assassin that promised to “be back.” Looks like he made good on that promise. The Terminator T-800 is joining the Mortal Kombat 11 roster in the very near future....

Last July, Microsoft and 343 Industries showed off Halo Infinite gameplay for the very first time. And the internet responded. Not with a lot of praise, mind, but with disappointment and a butt-load of memes featuring a brute they adopted as Craig. Indeed, the latest Halo didn’t quite overwhelm people with its looks. The gameplay, which looked rather fun and harkened back to classic Halo, was overshadowed by graphics that didn’t quite live up to expectations....
